I had my original BA in 2000 after having 3 breastfed children. Following my surgery, I had 2 more successfully breastfed children. Immediately following my surgery, I noticed my left breast appeared smaller and higher than my right breast. I called my surgeon the evening of my surgery to express my concern. He assured me this was just due to uneven swelling however during subsequent post op visits, my breast did not even out and he determined I had a capsular contracture (which I questioned at the time as it would not have begun immediately following surgery) and he performed a closed capsulotomy which is a horrifying experience. Fast forward - time, having children and gravity have pronounced the differences between my breast and I have become very self conscious of this so I decided to have a revision surgery. I also have noticeable rippling of my implants due to thin tissue. I was approx a 32 B prior to my original BA and am now a full 34C. I would like to bump up to a 34D/DD but am hoping this will not be too large or too much for my small frame. I had a total of 3 plastic surgeons, 2 of whom I felt where extremely competent and who have very different approaches to addressing my issues. I chose to have my surgery with Dr. Grenely based on his years of experience, knowledge, amazing before and after pics of his work and how comfortable I felt during my consultation. He seems to be a bit of a perfectionist and after living with my lopsided boobs, I am looking for perfection! :) I believe he will give me the results I am looking for. We decided on textured gummy bear implants. I am not sure how many cc's or implant size yet. My pre-op appt is sched for Dec 19th and my surgery Jan 15th. I am excited to finally have my boobs fixed and nervous. Nervous for the surgery itself and just anxious in hoping this time I get the beautiful results I am hoping for. I work out 5 days a week so a little worried about not being able to workout for the 4-6 weeks but feel the ultimate trade off will be well worth it :) I will update following my pre-op appt. Wish me luck :) :) :)

I am in the same boat as you. I have one boob that had fallen out of pocket and I breastfed with my implants too. I am going in for surgery in less than two weeks. I am getting a 550 filled to 590 and he is going to see up the pocket. I am really excited. I hate the one boob that does it's own thing. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck to you

I mean, I know you have the one Boobie that kind of droops but it's hardly noticeable. You really have good shape to your breasts so I think you're going to be a great candidate for a revision. You're going to get exactly what you want.
I can't wait tinder your results. :) ok. Nighty nite. I'm gonna crash. I'll be back Thursday.

Feel free to join a forum of women also awaiting their January 2015 breast implant revision surgeries. The forum is quiet now, but will hopefully become busy in time. Will you have some help the first few days post op? I have heard that revision surgeries often have a much easier recovery. Keep us posted!
